HELP! To buy or not...rough 63 aztec for $25,000

Looks like your ego is writing checks your body can't cash! Let's put
the $40K into a really nice ultralight. Better yet... maybe we can
convince the bank to mortgage the cost over 100 years. Going with a
known (proven) quantity seems to be the ever sounding reply. The
question is now... If you go with $75-100K airplane, can you still cover
the payments, operating cost, insurance, and tie-down fees with the $$
you make on survey/photo work? To answer your question with a
question... What is a realistic price tag for an AZTEC or simular twin
in cost per year at say 200 hours flown? I only ask because I don't
have the experience. Any taker's?

Couldn't you buy a fleet of ultralights for $40K?

Or one gold-plated one?

Don't buy this airplane. As Dennis O'Connor has itemized, the bills
will go on and on and you will run out of money before you ever fly
it.
Find another airplane that some poor guy has already made the
same mistake with; one on which he has already spent a fortune fixing
everything, and from which he can't hope to recoup the cost. You'll
have a nice airplane at half what that Aztec would cost you.

Want to bet? I'll wager I can fly...oh, let's say 500 hours on an
Aztec bought as scrap for under $25K. As an extra handicap, I'll make
it a turbo. I've got an annual inspection coming up soon, so let's
make the wager around $10K.

Was this luck, or skill in recognizing a genuine bargain?

Definitely not either. I attribute it to being stupid and stubborn.
